One caveat. Once you get to 1.0, you are making some promise of stability.
I am still trying to get code that worked with 0.93 working on 0.95
snapshot, it looks like the dynamic classloading stuff is using the
wrong classloader. that's the price of being bleeding edge, and once I
check in the extra diagnostics everyone will benefit.
But once you go to 1.0, you are committing to keep things stable, both
in signature and semantics, or risk alienating a larger audience.
Absolutely +1 Steve. Once we go to 1.0, the externally visible parts are
frozen .. all we can do is improve/add and possibly deprecate if a big
problem has been found.
I'm personally confident we're ready to go there.
Sanjiva.
OK. The other thing is that you can't do a release that depend on
-SNAPSHOT versions of things.
Because doing so makes it impossible for anyone to ever recreate your
initial state once the stuff in the maven scratch repositories changes
